Ascend Houston Takes Off

Ascend Houston had a very eventful and successful fourth
quarter to cap off a great 2010 year. In October, Ascend hosted its second
annual flagship event - Inspiring Across Generations. The 2010 topic was
"Mentorship- Creating Bridges toward Excellence”. Keynote speakers Lisa
Ong from PwC and Chow Yu from Waste Management provided motivation and words of
wisdom to students and professionals of all levels trying to enhance their
careers.

In November, ASCEND Houston hosted its annual scholarship
luncheon at Kim Son. In 2010, ASCEND awarded two $2,000 scholarships to
two deserving students from UH and HBU. Ascend has also reached out to
its student members by organizing events such as mock interviews , mentorship
events, and a back to school ice cream social. Ascend has also been
thankful for its success in the 2010 holiday season and has given back to the
community. Also in November, Ascend volunteered at Reagan High School to
help conduct a math tournament for local students.
